WANAMAKER'S.

PHILADELPHIA. Monday, january 8. 1881
1t will be remembered that
we bought the entire wholesale
stock of Messrs. Regal, Scott
y Co., (retiring from business).
We are now compelled to give
possession of the premises, No.
1888 Market Street, and this
has forced us to move the goods
up to the retail store. Those
who recall the great size of the
wholesale store, built by that
famous old Philadelphia mer.
chant, Morris L. Hallowell, will
understand what an enormous
stock was to be moved and
provided for somewhere, some
how. We brought it here; but
1t crowds us SO, that there is
nothing left for us to do but
break from our rule and make
an extra and forced sale. In
ten years we have never done
such a thing but once-three
years ago,
